or presents it to the eye or orilice in the.

side of the shuttle from which it is withdrawn by the fingers of theoperative to obviate the common practice of drawing the thread throughthe eye by suction of the mouth.

The invention consists essentially in constructing the shuttle with acurved slit or inclined slits in the top leading down to internal threadpassages and direct to the closed shuttle eye thereby forming a block inthe fore part of the shuttle preferably integral therewith by which theyarn is di-k rected to the eye in the side of the shuttle.

The invention will be fully described with reference to the accompanyingdrawings forming part of the specification.

Figure 1. is a side elevation of the fore part of shuttle. Fig. 2. is aplan. Fig. 3. is a longitudinal sectional elevation. Fig. 4. is asectional plan. Fig. 5. is a transverse section on line -x of Fig. 3.Fig. 6 is a transverse section on line g/-g/ of Fig. 3.

ln the fore part of the shuttle an internal yarn passage A is formedextending from the center of the shuttle longitudinally and openinglaterally at a into the eye B in the side of the shuttle. A slit C ofcurved form is cut from the top of the shuttle into the clined slits arecut the block D would be triangular.

A steel pinl c is set across or in front oi? the yarn slit C above theyarn passage A to prevent the yarn rising or ballooning in the slit C.And a wire or pin E is fitted vertically or approximately vertically infront of the yarn passage A to guide the yarn thereto. In operation theend of the pin c overlaps the wire E and the two in conjunction preventany escape of the yarn when the shuttle is in operation.

The yarn passage may be directly opposite the end of the shuttle peg Cror to one side thereof. Steel pins Z2 b may be inserted at either sideof the shuttle eye B to pre vent wear. A pin e may be inserted at thejunction of the yarn passages A and a to prevent the yarn cutting orwearing into the block.

The hole a is bored for the convenience of construction and to preventthe possibility of the yarn being drawn through the passage A by suctionthrough the eye B.

lThe yarn from the shuttle peg Cr is drawn' out and passed around theblock D and into the yarn passage A at one side and drawn out throughthe eye B at the other side by the lingers of the operative.

No fittings or attachment to the shuttle are required as the block D ishomogeneous therewith being cut out of the solid wood of the shuttlethereby preserving its balance.

What we claim as our invention and desire to protect by Letters Patentis 1. A loom shuttle constructed with a l0ngitudinal internal yarnpassage, a transverse internal yarn passage communicating with thelongitudinal passage and terminating in a closed yarn eye and a yarnslit cut into the top of the shuttle and extending downward into theyarn passages and into the shuttle eye and forming a bloclr integralwith the shuttle around which the yarn is threaded substantially asdescribed.

2. A loom shuttle constructed with a longitudinal internal yarn passage,a transverse internal yarn passage communicating with the longitudinalpassage and terminating in a closed yarn eye, a yarn slit cut into thetop of the shuttle and extending downward into the yarn passage and intothe shuttle In testimony whereof We have hereunto eye and forlnmg ablock lntegral with the set our hands 1n presence of two subscribing 10shuttle around Whleh the yarn 1s threaded, Witnesses.
